My Music Brings Glory To God

When I create my music, I compose in such a way that the composition and the process I use bring glory to God and see more of the Creator's love here on earth.

Music is such a wonderful and powerful force indeed. It puts us in different moods by the different elements we use to create our songs.

Music Is A Gift

Music is a gift because it emanates from deep within us. That part that is deep within us is connected to our higher self which is in the realm of the All-Knowing.

When we think about the way music comes about, it has a vibration that if we are intuned with the Infinite, our music is like a 'serenading to the gods'.

How I Compose

Composing music for me is a long and complex process. So many elements go into creating a song. What should be noted from the beginning, it is a trial-and-error process. You are constantly trying new things throughout the lengthy process.

The art of songwriting usually refers to writing both music and lyrics of a song. Composing refers specifically to the writing of music.

You Must Love What You Do

Music is like other fields or subjects, like cooking, painting, and designing. Meaning, that one can experiment with different colors just like using different instruments.

And everyone uses their own method of creating. There is no hard and fast rule about creativity. Just enjoy the process. It is about having fun like a child. You keep learning and growing.

My Menu And Ingredients of Music

First, I start with the verse of a song. The building block of music is notes. Putting a few notes together is how any composer starts. And your ear tells you if to keep or try something a little different. Change the notes, or the duration, rhythm, or if you need to change the key, transpose.

As you play around, you get a feel for the procedure. By starting you get into the activity and that is how one learns and builds. Music is no different from any other subject. If you have a great love for something, you will find a way to conquer it. I, theresay, have a great love for something. 

The Format Or Formula

What type of music are you creating? I usually craft two verses followed by a bridge and back again to the verse. Incidentally, my verses can be called choruses. It may sound confusing. However, creating is a personal operation. 

However, this format is different from others I use from time to time. It is always changing and evolving.

So, what you construct that sounds unique and fits your own formula is all that matters. What others think is feedback. Sometimes the feedback is good or indifferent. But beware of others who are just patronizing. Better you get what people really think, so you can use that to shape your compositions. 

And compose a lot. Any great composer created lots of music. We only hear the popular ones.

Instruments Are Important

The instruments I use are determined when I am arranging the music. Certain instruments go well together. They blend nicely. It is a toss-up when one does this part of the activity. What sounds good as you mix and match is what goes in the pot. You sample various sounds of instruments. 

You come up with a mixture that you like ultimately. It could be better. You could use other instruments. How much time do you want to spend on one song? That is another dilemma. 

Producing Music 

Music production is another element that involves the use of many software. As a matter of fact, the process of creating, producing, and publishing music is a lengthy and labor-intensive course of action. One uses many programs each step along the way.

Mastering comes only before publishing. All my songs are published on YouTube after. 

Epilogue

That is a very simple and brief description of my music creation. It may sound simple, but I make it a rule to compose every day of my God-given life. It gives me great joy. The greater joy is to give thanks to God for being alive and glorify Him with my creative being. As He is the Great Creator.
